  Hi! I’m trying to import my tumblr blogs (I have a few), but I started an import around 2:30pm today and it says it has imported 0/a lot of posts as of now (10:45pm). I understand there’s a lot of people trying to import from tumblr right now, and I can be patient if that’s all it takes, but is there any way to streamline the process? do I need to leave my browser open? avoid making new posts?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  I’ve double checked to confirm your import is indeed still running. It didn’t cancel and is not stalled either.

  We’re processing quite a few imports from Tumblr at the moment, which is causing a backlog of imports in our system. While it may look like your import failed, it’s just in line for processing, and luckily it’s still in the queue.

  As for your question about browser status, you can close your browser and that should not affect the import process.

  It should also be okay to make new blog posts, both on WordPress.com and Tumblr, while the import process is active.

  Please allow this to run for the next 24 hours, and if it hasn’t completed by then, update us here.

  Hi, it’s been nearly 48 hours and the import hasn’t completed. No posts are currently visible on the WordPress site. Is the importer STILL running?
